11 DAYS UGANDA GORILLA AND CHIMPANZEE TREKKING

As the “jewel of Africa,” Uganda extends a warm welcome to visitors. This safari in Uganda will fulfill your dreams of meeting mountain gorillas in their native rainforest habitat. Gorilla trekking in Uganda has become one of Africa’s most impactful wildlife encounters thanks to a high success rate in identifying habituated gorilla family groups in the spectacular Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

The tour gives you plenty of opportunities to see wildlife, including the critically endangered mountain gorillas, in addition to game viewing in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale National Park (also known as the “Capital of Chimpanzees”), and Big Five Safaris in Murchison Falls National Park. Unlike the common assumption, there is a lot more to do here than simply go up Mount Emancipator. Your Uganda safari has the potential to introduce many people to something completely new; it might develop into an exciting journey that ties together all facets of contemporary life like never before. Embrace the opportunity to think creatively every day; do so on purpose, not just when it occurs to you; you will not find any quick cuts here.

Soon after we finish eating, we will board a boat for a journey down the Nile, where we will see even more breathtaking sights. You should not miss out on this incredible opportunity.

DAY 5

Catching Chimpanzees In Kibale Forest

Following breakfast, we will set off on what is dubbed a popular chimp tracking excursion in Madagascar,” a journey that can last anywhere from two to four hours depending on how quickly you want things done. There is a lot of fun to be had to explore a web of shaded trails, too, especially if you happen to be a butterfly or plant enthusiast.

If you are a birder, you are in luck: 335 species have been spotted here, including the endangered Prigogine’s ground thrush. Who would not enjoy spending the day in the woods? Anyone interested in botany or butterfly collecting should take advantage of this opportunity. You may spend hours wandering about. After lunch, you will go for a walk in the Bigodi sanctuary’s marsh, a habitat with a diverse bird population. The big Blue Turaco is among the most elusive and frequently seen of these birds.

Make Your Way To The Queen Elizabeth National Park

Day 7

Boat Cruise And Game Drive

We plan to leave at 630 in the morning when the sun is at its brightest and the scenery is at its most magnificent. The animals have ventured outside, perhaps in search of food or simply to get a feel for their new surroundings before embarking on an adventure. Our plan is to ambush the large cats as they stalk their prey in the early morning hours, much like lions.

It is impossible not to be awed by the sudden rebirth of life in the natural world; nothing seems permanent except perhaps people who keep returning year after year. Lunch will be back at the lodge where we started. In the afternoon, we will board a sustainable vessel and cruise the Kazinga channel, which is sure to be one of the most breathtaking experiences of your life. When compared to other game reserves across the world, Queen Elizabeth National Park has one of the highest biodiversity scores. This evening, we will head back to the lodge for a hearty meal and some much-needed shut-eye.
